Amharc ar fhreagraThere has been a long-standing invitation to Prime Minister Zapatero to visit Ireland. The Taoiseach renewed this invitation at the recent European Council in Brussels, indicating that a visit by Prime Minister Zapatero would provide a valuable opportunity to discuss a range of issues of mutual concern. The Prime Minister responded warmly to the invitation and contact is continuing between the two Governments to establish a suitable date for the visit.
